Reviews for Icecream Ebook Reader PRO
Icecream ebook reader pro fills the all in one ebook reading platform that will satisfy the regular .epub reader, veteran .pdf enthusiasts and the hard to accept .cbz comic book readers. Since I am a part of all, I was highly interested at the prospect of something that will cover all my reading facets giving me a complete library accessible from one dedicated place.
First Impressions
Icecream ebook reader pro looks magnificent at first look. With the controls centered about actual book keeping and all the other aesthetics and control features relegated to a background position that isn’t hard to unearth, the application is a perfect tool to somebody who wants to focus on reading. Nothing more, nothing less.
Pros
A Robust Library Manager
The strongest point of this ebook reader is the library. With the power to assimilate all your book collections without actually changing their storage locations, it becomes the adept reader that will save you hours of navigating from folder to folder each time you need to read your books. You can add books one by one or add an entire folder to your library. This is the perfect approach to anyone who didn’t have a library manager in the first place.
If you had a manager that could export a bookshelf, you can use the import option to bring it in and also export current bookshelves from Icecream to other PCs.
Read Progress Tracker and Tools
Reading your books will be simple and sublime. The mouse wheel scroll approach to turn a page makes the entire experience as natural as it could ever be. Couple this with the recent read book tracker and the actual progress on each book and you can learn how much you’ve done on your library at a glance.
A table of contents, bookmark and notes manager gives you total control over your books. You can take notes or indicate how far you’ve read and access this information at a glance. The contents view that shows the different chapters lets you navigate from one place to another faster and simpler.
Cons
A Crippling Import Process
I had quite the sizeable folder to import before trying out Icecream ebook reader. This took a while and the fact that you import from a popup that blocks everything means that you cannot use the reader as it imports. While this won’t be an everyday inconvenience, it will still be a nuisance every time you add sizeable archives to your reader.
It would have been amazing if they allowed asynchronous processing that lets you keep browsing what is already there as you upload more.
Verdict
The Icecream ebook reader is an amazing solution that will pass the test to both the leisure reader and the professional enthusiasts who want to know their books inside out. It is a perfect bargain here bearing in mind this giveaway lets you lift the books on library curfew letting you import and manager as many books as you wish.
From browser add ons to standalone programs, the Ebook readers’ is quickly filling up. Using one eBook reader over another one depends on many factors. Just but to mention a few, it might be out of preference, first encounter, or what the program presents in terms of its features. In my case, I have to try out a software before I decide if it will be my go-to solution for my needs.
While searching for an eBook reader, I came across Icecream Ebook Reader PRO. It had interesting features from its description that I wanted to explore and use. Here is my experience and take on this Ebook reader.
Overview
You will experience no issues when downloading and installing the package. On launching the program, it was clear that it was easy-to-use. The features, which are on the right hand side of the main window, are straightforward in terms of what they do. You can view your Library in Bookshelf or Table view. When reading, you can also opt for Full screen or normal, or Single or Two column view.
Pros
Helpful Categorization
It goes without mentioning that you will end up with many Ebooks in the Icecream Ebook Reader PRO’s library. Given such a situation, the issue of sorting and accessing the Ebooks will arise. Thankfully, this software automatically sorts the Ebooks based on their specific file type. As such, finding what you are looking for will take less time.
Closely rated to the categorization feature and the extend ease of access of your Ebooks is the Search in Library feature. You just need to start typing in any word in the title of the book you are looking for and this software will instantly show the necessary results.
Different Reading Profiles
Icecream Ebook Reader PRO’s developers took into account the need for users to change the reading profile depending on the amount of light or personal preferences. As such, you have the option to settle for the Day, Night, or Sepia profiles. I was also able to customize the Background and Text color to match my preferences.
Cons
No Option for Adding Notes
One of the features that drew my attention to Icecream Ebook Reader PRO was its ability to add notes to your Ebooks. However, while I was reading one of my PDF using this program, I was not able to do so. The program only has the View and Go To notes options active while the option to add new ones was unavailable.
Less Intuitive Interface and Features
To start with, this program lacks an option to let you choose how you would want to turn on the next page. You only have to click on the page to flip it. At the same time, its page flip effect is less interesting given how Ebook readers already implement that effect. Further, the Search text or page number feature does not highlight the searched text on the page hence prompting the need to read the whole page to find where the word is used.
Verdict
Icecream Ebook Reader PRO will match the basic needs for reading an Ebook. Its few additional features give it that slight edge over a normal reader especially if most of your Ebooks are in PDF format. You can try it out.
